About Roger
Biography
I have been practicing law in Scranton and throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania for over 30 years. I am the third generation and President of one of the oldest law firms in the state. We have a general practice with a heavy concentration on Bankruptcy and Debtor/Creditor law, Wills & Estates, Commercial Litigation, Insurance Disputes, as well as Family Law, Real Estate, and Fire Losses.
I was recently listed among Legal Network's Top Lawyers in Pennsylvania and have continued to provide the highest quality of legal representation to all of my clients. I would be honored to include you on that list.

I have acquired Attorney Mattes Jr. not once but twice. Each time Mr. Mattes has given me peace of mind through his professionalism, amazing strength and incredible knowledge. I thank God for his help. I would and have recommended him. Mr. Mattes is honest, doesn't beat around the bush, tells you up...

Trusting God
Recently I've acquired Roger as my attorney. Both him and staff is very knowledge and treat you like family. I believe they are all spiritual and very much down to earth. Although my case is active and pending I have confidence and trust that all will be good.
